Besides being a businessman and rapper, Diddy is also a comedian, or at least he was for one night.
The Bad Boy CEO took the stage last night at New York's Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre for his first and probably only comedy routine.
Comedian and UCB regular Chris Gethard somehow managed to convince Diddy to do the show by basically being a persistent pain in the ass.
Gethard made youtube videos, started a 13 month twitter campaign, and even tracked Diddy down face to face when the star appeared on Saturday Night Live.
“I think it was just his persistence,” Diddy told the New York Times backstage. Explaining why he finally gave in to Mr. Gethard. “I was like, who’s this guy? But I felt his energy and his spirit. I’m supposed to be at the Golden Globes right now, but I’ll just go there a little bit later.”
Diddy admitted to being initially confused by the twitter campaign, which consisted of people constantly tweeting #diddygethard -- a combination of both their last names that spells out diddy get hard.
"I couldn’t understand it," Diddy told Rolling Stone about the tweets being directed his way. “The way I was pronouncing it... I didn’t know if it was a sexual thing. I kept seeing it retweeted. And I was like, What the fuck?"
It turned out to be a fun night for everyone involved.
Diddy, who brought his son Justin along with him, participated in a few improv skits then jetted off into the New York night.

BETHANY, Okla. -- Police in Bethany continue to investigate a weekend homicide in which a man is accused of fatally stabbing his wife of nearly 30 years.
Bethany Police Chief Phil Cole says since 58-year-old Reginald Bartlett's attack was not premeditated, he was booked on second degree murder charges.
Not even Barlett's own son saw this attack coming.
"I know he loved her and I know she loved him very much," Devin Bartlett said Monday, "and I will never understand what happened. I don't think anybody can."
Devin says he can't comprehend why his father would have murdered his stepmother, Cathy Bartlett, at their Bethany home on Saturday.
In fact, he says he's never seen his dad lose his temper.
"I will tell him that I don't understand what happened and I'm very angry and very hurt that it happened," Devin says. "But I also will tell him that his family will be here for him."
It was about 6:30 p.m. Saturday when Bethany Police say Reginald Bartlett call 911, saying he came home to find his wife dead following a burglary.
In that 911 call, police say Bartlett can be heard saying "Somebody broke in. They killed her. Oh God. I've been at the basketball game. Oh God. Please hurry."
Police found Cathy Bartlett dead in their home from numerous stab wounds.
After three hours of questioning, they say Reginald confessed to the killing.
A Bethany Police affidavit states "He (Bartlett) stated Cathy came into the computer room, where he had been looking at pornography, and began yelling at him about a bank statement and thought he was ordering pornography. Reginald stated Cathy had slapped him on the side of the head, at which time he 'snapped.' He added he grabbed a knife and began stabbing her."
Judy Thomas worked with Cathy for over 20 years at the Department of Human Services and never heard a single problem about their marriage.
"I just don't understand that kind of anger," Thomas says, "because he didn't seem mean to me. He didn't have a mean spirit. You know, some people you can see it? I've never ever saw that in him."
"I don't know that I could've done anything to have stopped whatever occurred from happening," Devin Bartlett says, "but that's one thing I'll never know the answer to."
Police say Bartlett, who was a water treatment plant supervisor for the city of Bethany, confessed to throwing their computer and the murder weapon into a nearby lake.
The couple would have celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on January 31.
Charges are expected to be filed at the Oklahoma County Courthouse in the next week

Well damn, some people just don't have a sense of humor.
Kanye West and Jay-Z's new single "H.A.M" from their upcoming album 'Watch The Throne' shot to number 2 on iTunes just days after it's release. It sits just behind Britney Spears latest song "Hold It Against Me."
Kanye joked around with Spears by tweeting her the "i'mma let you finish" line made famous when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 VMA's.
Apparently some Britney Spears fans didn't get the joke.
Her manager Adam Leber sarcastically tweeted back, "Thanks for "letting" us be #1. Much appreciated..."
West eventually took down the tweet, but not before wondering why people don't seem to have a sense of humor when it involves him.
"On a serious note I'm truly happy for @AvrilLavigne and @BritneySpears... No hate in 2011. I thought LOL signified a joke... I didn't get the 2011 LOL doesn't signify a joke anymore memo... LOL or something else I guess," Yeezy tweeted.
Seriously people need to lighten up.
On a lighter note, Kanye just treated himself to a brand new $180,000 Tiret watch this week. The one-of-a-kind design features the star’s likeness on the dial in over eight carats of yellow, black, brown and white diamonds.

Forget all the talk about Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose... we're off that.
Amber looks like she's got her eyes on the oh so sexy video vixen Rosa Acosta.
The two arrived at Beso Restaurant in West Hollywood last night in separate vehicles, but left together only after locking lips in front of the cameras.
Now listen all you doubters, don't ruin my fantasy. If I choose to believe these two beautiful women are getting it on between the sheets, then let me enjoy that fantasy.
Yeah I know Amber Rose is filming a new reality show called 'Behind Her Shades', and of course this is great publicity.
But dammit that was real, wasn't it?
Make a sex tape ladies so we know it's official.

FAST FACTS:
*Approximately 90 students at Frayser High School are pregnant or have recently given birth
*The startling numbers fall in line with high teen pregnancy rates in the entire Frayser community
*A new initiative to help combat the problem will soon be introduced
About 90 students at a Memphis High School are either pregnant, or have been recently.
The startling news was confirmed by a high ranking city official and comes as the community plans to roll out a new initiative to help combat the problem.
However, one Frayser High School graduate says teen pregnancy is not a new problem for the school.
"When we would come back from summer break, there would be a thousand people pregnant. We were like, what's going on?" joked Alicia Williamson, who graduated from Frayser in 2004.
"There were a whole lot of bellies. You had to watch out so you didn't bump into them. Being 2011, I thought a lot of them would have thought this is not the right way to go, having babies during school time," she added.
The organization, Girls, Inc. teaches girls about preventing pregnancy.
Deborah Hester Harrison, who heads the organization, says Memphis' teen pregnancy rate stands at between 15 and 20 percent, almost twice the national average.
In the Frayser zip code, the rate is about 26 percent. Harrison partly blames the media.
"So much of our society is sexually oriented. As adults we can look at that and it doesn't impact us, but kids are different," Harrison said.
It's why Girls, Inc. offers classes where teenage girls "care for" computerized babies to give them a feel for what teenage parenthood is like.
The organization will also be part of a new initiative tentatively scheduled to be introduced next week.

The based god has officially planted roots in New York City.
Lil B played his second sold out show in New York in the last several months. The West Coast rapper packed Santos Party House back in July. Last night he had the Highline Ballroom rocking.
This wasn't a concert, it was more like king being welcomed home. This man's fans are beyond dedicated.
One fan offered to let Lil B f*ck his mom, and for that he was knighted by the based god.
Another fan literally gave B his woman to do whatever he pleases.
"He kissed my b*tch on stage, I'mma let him f*ck her tonight," said the fan. "You can f*ck my mom, my sister, I love you son. Peace to the world.......swag."
What in the hell is going on? This isn't a movement, it's a cult! Hip Hop's 1st cult, lol.
I can't do anything but congratulate Lil B though, hating would be uncivilized.

The Beatles, Van Halen, Rage Against The Machine, The Clash, The Police, Cream, Soundgarden and Guns-N-Roses to name a few.
While some bands move forward with new members or reform years later. The spark that made them great in the first place is almost never there again.
Add The Fugees to that list, and this time it really does look like it's for good.
The trio of Wyclef Jean, Pras and Lauryn Hill have ego that won't allow them to work together.
There were rumors of a Wyclef and Lauryn romance during the group's early years. Who knows what role that could have played in bringing the group down.
The group released two albums. 'Blunted On Reality' in 1994 then 'The Score' in 1996.
Bono of U2 called the band the hip hop version of The Beatles.
'The Score' became a huge hit, selling over 15 million copies worldwide. But then right at the peak of their popularity the group broke up in 1997.
They all pursued solo careers, then reunited briefly in 2004 at Dave Chappelle's Block Party in Brooklyn, then went their own ways again.
Pras and Wyclef didn't speak to each other for five years, until recently finding themselves on the same flight to their native country of Haiti.
The two took the opportunity to mend their friendship.
"I saw Pras on the flight and as a Fugees member I didn't know whether to elbow him, shoot him or give him a kiss and we gave a hug," Wyclef told Starpulse. "When it comes to Lauryn and Pras, it's my childhood, they always bring me to that place.
"At the end of the day Pras is my brother and Lauryn is my sister, despite what the media say. The Fugees are not meant to be. We're rock stars from a locked group. You're going to have egos and differences but at the end of the day I love them both very much."

"They know what he did, but they don't know why he did it" 50 Cent - Funeral Music
As the dust continues to settle following the internet uproar over Gucci Mane's new face tattoo. The man who did the handiwork says you shouldn't expect to see him doing any more elaborate face tats.
Shane Willoughby of Atlanta's 10th Street Tattoo told Vibe that Gucci knew what he wanted and was determined to get it done.
"I was like 'Are you sure you want to put that much [ink] in that area? He came straight to the counter and that's where he pointed," Willoughby said "When he said he wanted to do the ice cream thing I said 'Well why don't we do it somewhere else?' But he was like I don't have anywhere else."
Some have suggested Gucci wasn't in his right mind when he got the work done. He was recently given a mental health evaluation as part of his probation violation case. Gucci has also been known to smoke a joint or two, but Willoughby said the rapper was 100% sober.
"I won't tattoo anybody if their [drunk] or high because I can't stand the smell of weed... [Gucci] seemed completely sober. He knew what he was doing." the tattoo artist insisted.
That he got a tattoo of an ice cream cone is not all that surprising when you really think about about it. The 1017 Brick Squad CEO has a diamond encrusted cone chain around his neck. And fans recognize his signature "Brrr" from his songs and mixtapes. Buy why the lightning bolts coming out of the top?
"He said 'I want something rock 'n roll.' There's nothing more rock 'n roll then lightening bolts," Willoughby explains. "I don't think I'll ever do [that] again... no matter how successful [the celebrity]." Willoughby says of the face art.
At the end of the day though, the tattoo artist says Gucci was very happy with the work, "He was stoked. Had no regrets... was jumping up and down. That's the way he rolls."
Gucci's spokesperson Kali Bowyer, told Rolling Stone the image is "a reminder to fans of how he chooses to live his life. Cool as ice. As in 'I'm so icy, I'll make ya say Brr.'
